Stephen King Celebrates Train Crash Involving Republican Lawmakers

“My friend Russ calls that karma”

Writer Stephen King has stoked controversy by appearing to welcome the train crash yesterday involving Republican lawmakers, tweeting that the accident was “karma”.

The chartered train collided with a garbage truck yesterday morning in Virginia, killing one person. The train was carrying House and Senate Republicans to a retreat in West Virginia. No lawmakers or staff members were injured.

“A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that karma,” King tweeted Thursday.

CNN later claimed to have nothing to do with Tasini, despite Tasini describing himself as a “CNN talking head” in his own bio, and pinning a video in which he appeared on CNN to the top of his Twitter profile.
